Although Luo You was not involved, he couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw this group of guys.
The people present either lost their family members in Dongjian City or their homes. Despite this, Luo You did not empathize with them because they had come to the wrong place.
If Luo You had not betrayed the Alien Organization, and someone from the Alien Organization came to the door of her palace one day and made trouble unreasonably, she would not mind letting these people who had lost their relatives and families lose an arm or a leg.
It is impossible for a naturally strong person to empathize with a weak person, unless this strong person was once a weak person at the bottom of society.
Luo You is a natural strong man, and Broken-Winged Butterfly is the last one.
So she was able to restrain herself and not take any extreme actions or make any extreme remarks.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
The Broken-Winged Butterfly used magic to amplify its voice and suppress the noisy shouting.
"You may have seen the news. The dragon-level dimensional beast came from Europe. I am very sorry for the disaster in Dongjian City. When I learned about the incident, I rushed to the scene as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it still caused huge losses. It was my personal lack of ability that led to my failure to control the subsequent losses. I sincerely apologize to everyone here."
As it spoke, the Broken-Winged Butterfly bent down.
"what!"
Suddenly, the broken-winged butterfly let out a low cry, but fortunately no one else heard it.
She turned her head calmly, slapped away Luo You's hand that was grabbing her butt with a fake smile, and said stiffly: "Don't make trouble at this time!"
Luo You snorted, grabbed it again, and said, "Why are you apologizing so seriously? Be tougher, quick! Use the socks I gave you to replenish your energy!"
The broken-winged butterfly looked back, not knowing whether it had heard it or not.
"So many lives have been lost, so many people have lost their homes, and it can be solved with just an apology!"
Someone below shouted.
"Why are you so late? And why can't you control the subsequent losses? Aren't you the tenth seat? Were you delayed again because of the matter of the Gray Witch?!"
The fist under the Broken-Wing Butterfly table suddenly clenched.
Oh, Luo You looked at her reaction and understood one thing.
In fact, Broken-Winged Butterfly didn't care at all about the blame placed on him by the disaster victims in Dongjian City. The only thing he cared about from the beginning to the end was this rumor.
So that’s how it is.
After all, when it comes to being a magical girl, you'll often be blamed for dereliction of duty. After all, people will die, and it's impossible to end the battle without anyone dying. Once you get used to it, you'll naturally feel much better.
For example, when Luo Zining held her first concert, there were people in the audience who asked her to pay for her house.
"Where's the lark? Why are you the only one out? Is she doing something dirty with the witch?"
"Let the lark and the witch come out! Let's see the true face of these so-called ten members!"
boom!
The Broken-Winged Butterfly slammed the table hard, looked at everyone with cold eyes, and finally faced the media cameras, with a cold voice that also contained a hint of anger.
"I did fall into the hands of the witch, and what you said about me on the Internet is true. I admit it, but my sister Lark has never had any stains. I hope you understand this."
Author's words: In the morning
58. The butterfly's wings turned black
"The matter concerning the witch was all caused by my own lack of skills. I don't want similar rumors to be spread to other magical girls. In addition, I lost, but this incident did not cause any negative impact on me, nor did it neglect my duties. I have always been at my post. Thank you."
"You said it didn't affect you...but you've become a shrew." Luo You muttered softly from behind.
Paji
The heel of Broken-Winged Butterfly's high-heeled shoes stepped on Luo You's foot, but she did not use much force. After all, she could not guarantee that Luo You would not reverse his move and rush into her body.
After all, it was that Herrera. Who knew if she would publicly expose the decline of morals and worldly ethics.
"Today's press conference ends here. Thank you for your cooperation."
After saying that, the Broken-Winged Butterfly closed its microphone and strode away.
Luo You quickened his steps to catch up.
pat pat
pat, pat
Two different frequencies of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
"It would be better if you didn't respond. Once you respond, you won't be able to wash it off, oh~ni~san?"
"Isn't that what they want to see? But I haven't responded directly, so they made up stories, saying this magical girl was like this, that magical girl went through this and that... If you show them what they want to see, they will naturally stop making up stories."
The Broken-Winged Butterfly responded.
But judging from her tone, she didn't seem very willing.
"Oh, I know this."
Luo You looked like he had everything under control.
"Some things can obviously be announced openly, but because you tried to hide them, they became talked about by others. If you had admitted it before, your defeat would have been just a joke, or at most a joke. But you kept it hidden until now, and it has become a black material for others to criticize you."
"—?!"
The broken-winged butterfly suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Luo You with a look of sudden enlightenment, followed by regret and great hesitation.
A very simple truth.
For example, the relevant department wants to handle a special case. The case itself is not very complicated, but it involves public opinion. Some of the details only need to be announced openly, but they have to make it vague and ambiguous, and in the end they gain nothing. That's why people will discuss whether there is a shady deal, a conspiracy theory, etc., which damages their reputation.
[This lazy brat can think of it, why can't I?! ] The Broken-Winged Butterfly's trembling pupils trembled violently.
Is it because of her self-esteem that she has turned into a resentful woman, and she would rather die than admit the fact that she was trained by a witch?
She just admitted this to the media because it involved Lark, and she had no choice but to come out and expose it, which was a very bad move among the worst moves to draw attention back to herself.
I never thought of Elera's level.
The Broken-Winged Butterfly remained silent, her eyelids trembling uncontrollably. If it weren't for Elera, she would have wanted to make a sharp cry, stomp her feet and curse like a little woman, and then hum angrily.
"Sister Butterfly, you look very ugly."
"...It's none of your business."
"I'm in a bad mood anyway, why not become a secretary to vent?"
Luo You twisted her waist charmingly and raised her hand to touch the magnificent heart of the Broken-Winged Butterfly.
Snapped!
The hand was slapped down like a fly.
"Stop it! I'm not in the mood for that right now!" the Broken-Winged Butterfly shouted angrily.
"Hey - why are you angry?"
Luo Youming knew why she was angry, but he still wanted to provoke her.
"What's the matter? Although it's a little late to admit it now, there are still ways to improve it!"
"You didn't mean well by what you said!"
The Broken-Winged Butterfly finished speaking and asked, "What method?"
"Ah~ Didn't you say I have bad intentions?"
"If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Hehe~~As long as you are here..."
Deng Deng Deng!
The sound of the heels hitting the floor was like thunder approaching rapidly, with great penetrating power.
"sister!!"
The sound came before the person arrived. Luo You looked back and saw only the broken-winged butterfly covering its forehead helplessly, looking quite helpless.
"Then I'll step aside for a while~"
Luo You retreated before the lark arrived.
The lark ignored Luo You and went straight towards the butterfly with broken wings.
“Onee-sama! Why do you say that?!”
"It's a compromise forced by reality. Besides, Dongjian City did suffer heavy losses due to my shortcomings..."
"That's not what I said!"
The lark's aura changed, and it seemed as if it was questioning the butterfly with the broken wing.
She stood there angrily, with her hands on her hips, "Why did you bring up the witch incident? We already agreed to let it go and wait for the storm to pass. Now you suddenly admit it, isn't all your previous patience going to waste?"
"If I don't do that, this rumor will be mixed up with the matter of Toujian City and involve other magical girls." Broken Wing Butterfly whispered.
"That can't be--"
"Calm down. Lark, let me ask you, can you imagine a situation where the entire Northwest branch of magical girls were attacked with similar remarks?"
It's easy to imagine.
Magical girls who are surrounded by rumors and attacked will suffer psychological trauma and low morale, which is equivalent to increasing the chance of death in the increasingly intense sea tide. This is a phenomenon that is bound to happen.
When a magical girl dies because of something like this, the morale of the magical girls around her will also drop. It's a completely downward vicious cycle.
Just think about it.
"So I intervened," said the Broken-Winged Butterfly.
At this time, it is necessary to open the floodgates and drain the water, so that the public's scattered attention can be focused on one person again.
Her idea was to admit that she had been defiled by a witch so that those who wanted to spread rumors would have to follow the existing facts and not use outrageous fabricated statements to indiscriminately attack other magical girls.
"......" The lark was shaking with anger.
This is just a secondary reason.
How could she not figure out the fundamental reason why Broken-Winged Butterfly did this? It was because these rumors implicated her.
She was so angry that she was about to cry, and growled, "I clearly... clearly don't care about those nonsense, why...! Why do you have to make such a big sacrifice, onee-sama!"
The Broken-Winged Butterfly smiled and touched her head.
"It's okay, Lark. Compared to what you lost four years ago, these are nothing. Besides, you were never tainted by Elera in the first place. There's no need for you to bear these stigmas with a loser like me."
"I don't care about the stigma at all! Even if I'm really slandered, at least I can bear it together with my elder sister! It's just some groundless rumors. Even if I'm really accused of the same thing as my elder sister, it's no big deal for me!"
"..."
The smile in the broken-winged butterfly's eyes gradually disappeared, and the hand that was stroking the lark's hair gradually let go.
"That's so easy to say..."
She lowered her eyes dejectedly, looked at the lark's feet, and said with some contempt: "If I hadn't blocked it for you back then, you wouldn't even have the courage to live."
——!
The lark seemed to be choked hard.
"Sister....adult?"
"Don't make it sound so easy. You obviously haven't experienced it before... If you had experienced it completely, would you still be able to say this to me so easily now?"
“No, onee-sama…! I—”
"Lark, you have to remember not to trivialize the pain that others are experiencing."
The Broken-Winged Butterfly passed directly over the lark and headed towards the end of the corridor.
Author's words: Oh my god, I fell asleep right after finishing writing last night. I woke up in the afternoon and realized that I hadn't set up automatic updates. What the hell?
59. Make a Break (3K)
After the broken-winged butterfly left, the lark realized what was happening belatedly. It hugged its shoulders, trembling all over and slowly squatted down.
